Fostering Spirit of
Antagonism Toward
Stage Will Not
Help Films
.Ti-erc seems to be a gcnoial mis
understanding among the exhibitors
of motion pictures as to the attitude
they should adopt toward -the lsglt
imate theater, and this mlsundor
(anding Is leading to a widening or
the breach between two Industries
that should develop side by Bids.
,8ome time ago attention was called
to the fact that prominent theatri
cal managers were seriously consid
ering the necessity of Inserting in
the contracts they have with their
actors a clauso prohibiting the ac
tors appearing In motion pictures
during the lilotlme of the contract.
The cause for this Is found In the
manner In which exhibitors ato util
izing flints with famous actois as
stars for advertising pin poses.
There Is really no need for this.
. TJlo stage and the film both have
their missions to pjrform. It Is
true that the one frequently over
laps the other. But there Is no lea
son why they should not oarrv on
their work without Interfering with
imic anothar. The film s especially
adapted to do one thing and tho
stage another. There Isn't any way
the two conflict if they ate pioperly
managed.
But there seems to ha a deslio on
the pait 01" some of the people of
the stage, as well ns some of the
people In the motion plctura busi
ness, to bring about an antagonism
which cannot but rventiinllv work
out to the detriment of both. The
motion picture editor of the Hia
niatlc Mirror speaks rather plainly
on this subject in the currant lsue
of tint periodical. Itls comment H
so timely ami po just that it is
worth while to icpublish it foi tho
benefit of motion nieture patrons:
"Motion picture exhibitors who de
light 'ii advertising. "Why pay JJ
to see So-and-so, when ou can
see her here for 10 cents" ate not
aiding the motion pkturc any by the
practice.
"Thev aic creating an ill-will on
the part o' the llicattle.il producers
and managers that will find expres
sion in a variety of forms, and very
llkelv at times when friendly support
Is more needed by the motion plctute
than vengeful spite, l'urthei than
that, this form of competition can
not be expected to gain the good will
of the stage stars who are mention
ed. "This practice Is becoming Increas
ingly popular with picture exhibitors.
The manager of a theatrical attrac
tion with a star who has recently
appeared on the screen finds soon
after he leave New Yark that his
every stop is played In opposition
to a feature plctuio that is using the
logan already mentioned.
. "It may bo good business, but It
doesn't make frlonds. At its best the
result achieved is only of tomporaiy
benefit. It will be admitted that the
theatrical Interests have ncvor been
overklnd in their consideration of tho
picture in the past, bnt'that phase Is
oast.
"And in the day that Is coming the
battles of the stage and screen will
be. the same, and harmony will not
be hastened by competition built on
sharp practices."
Chinese Thought First
Motion Pictures Ghosts
According to a letter received by
ffhomas II. Inco from a missionary, re
cently, and published In the Photoplay
Magazine, tho llrst display of moving
pictures In the province of Szcehuen,
China, 2,000 milc3 up the Yang-Tse,
caused a mob dlstuibance of alarming
proportions.
When tho bodiless, ct vigorous
shadows began to move silently acuws
tho screen in the visible but Imma
terial simulation of life murmurs arose,
noon increasing to shouts and uproar,
that foreign devils had possessed "the
locality, and were in league with the
cplrits of the dead.
Actual destruction and perhaps blood
Hhed was prevented only by the clubbed
guns of tho native soldier. Later,
when tho pictures were explained, thu
natives becamo ardent fans. The first
feature film shown In Szechuen were
Ince pictures. These cuibcd tho out
burst of superstitious lage.

MACARONI AS A FOQU. I
Q. In making up a meal would you
count macaroni as the starch clement
or cottJd you count it as the starch and
nroteitl elements t
MMi. K. V. J.
A. According to analyses of Atwater
Bryant, the average composition of
macaroni Is :
Water 10.?.
Protein 13.4
Fat 0.9
Total carbohydrates, which In
cludes starch 74.1
Ash or mineral matter I 3
Fuel value per pound caluilcs. 1665.
From this It will bo seen that the
starch content Is by far the highest.
This Is of course true of all cereal piod
ucts. The staich and protein In or
der named lutnlsh the greater pint of
the nutrltlvo value of macaroni.
Henry T. Fink says thnt macaroni
"has a much better title to the desig
nation 'staff of life' than has bread, be
cause the former has so much mote of
tho body building gluten."
Q. 1 macaroni is not a complete food,

A. Macaroni is deficient In fat, n char
acteristic of cereals. Its high Mrch
should be balanced by n fat, for ex
ample, cheese, butter, oleoniargat hie or
vegetable oils. Macaroni cooked w.th
cheese makes a dlhh of high .nutritive

substitute. This flavor is composed of
the following ingredients. Vanilla ex
tract, a vegetable gxtnl, vanillin, cuu-
marine, glycerine and sugar color.
MRS. K. O. R.
A. You are right, this Is a substitute
for vanilla. The flavoring Ingredients
are vanillin and coumarinc. Vanillin to
day Is made largely from clove oil. Cou
m.i rlne Is a coal tar product. We do not
bc'ievo that It can be said that tjther
one of these substitutes used as flav

are however. Illustrations of fraudulent
